Or even that it was implied can you point me to the scene you are talking about?And in the book the only being tortured is Harry and I think near the end Lee may get it.The problem with the movie is that they have to cut so many plots out. As for the kids submiting to torture and not fighting back most of the kids cannot stand against an adult wizard. And none of them were tortured.There is also the matter of Lord Voldermort in the books you know how many people he has slaughtered entire families. One of the reason Dumbledore and his loyal staff are not fighting back is that they are trying to keep a low profile as they move themselves into postion to have a chance against Voldermort and his followers and while doing this they are trying to stay out of Azkeban. Fudge is controlling everything the Daily Prophet, the wizard court. Most people are so afraid of Voldermort that they prefer to believe what Fudge says because the Dark Lord is so scary that don't want to believe he is back. As for the parents of the other children I don't find it surprising that most of them would prefer to keep their heads down. That is human nature. Most of them are not going to take a stand against the legal goverment of Wizards. But again I will point out that what was happening to Harry was not common knowledge. Other than Ron and Hermoine I don't believe any other students knew or teachers for that matter.I didn't think the movie was that great myself mainly because they had to cut so much out and unlike the other movies I don't think it maintained the spirit of the books that the other movies did.</blockquote>
